@PromptForUserInput sets the focus initially on the buttons (and allows the programmer to set an initial default value) so that users can accept or reject the default value with either one or two keystrokes.

Focus can be moved to the text input area with either the mouse or with the tab key or with the arrow keys.

Suggestion noted. Thanks for the feedback!

Here's a good solution for backing up an application from a command button.
[code]var success as Int
var MacroFile as string

//The @Application command provides the name from the top of the application menu,
//so this code is useable in any application without modification.

success = @SelectTreeItem(@Application + "!Application Utilities!Backup Application")

// The following code is used instead of the @Application command, to protect the backup
// copy of an application in the event that the original is copied to a new filename, but
// used for different data, and the application name was not changed in the new copy.

if success = 1 then
     {
     MacroFile = @repllas(@fn, "\", "\Backup ")            // Insert "Backup "
     MacroFile = @repllas(MacroFile, ".db", "")            // Delete ".db"
     @macro(MacroFile + ".mac")
     }
[/code]
This code can be used in multiple applications without any modification. The only other thing you need to do, is record a custom macro for each application to go along with this code.

To record the macro open your application:
1) Select [i]Backup Application[/i] from the application utilities menu. (You should now see a window where you select a filename to use. Don't click anything just yet.)
2) Turn macro recording ON by pressing Shift-F2.
3) Click in the [i]Filename[/i] text box.
4) Press the End key to make sure the cursor is at the end of the text that is already there.
5) Type in the filename you want for your backup copy.
6) Click on Accept.
7) Turn macro recording OFF by pressing Shift-F2.
8) Save your macro in the same folder as the application itself (usually C:\Sesame\Data\), using this format for its name: Backup AppFilename.mac
Note that AppFilename should be the application's FILE name (as seen by the operating system), NOT the name that appears at the top of the application menu tree.

Now you will have a seamless, simple, one-click way to backup your application.

Let me know how you make out.

You shouldn't delete it. It's only the path to the data folder (Sesame doesn't display any previously used filename in the text box). You should simply need to enter the filename after that path.

If you do delete it, the backup file will end up in the main "C:\Sesame" folder rather than the "C:\Sesame\Data" folder. (Unless that's what you want.)

I'm having the customer do a backup to an external drive that he can take home with him. Just another way to differentiate my design from the stuff he's used to dealing with.
Thanks for both thoughts
